Park View Academy Announces September Enrollment Across Both Locations

Jersey City, New Jersey - September 15, 2026 -

Park View Academy has announced that September enrollment is now open at both of its locations, as the academy continues to emphasize outdoor time as a regular part of early learning. The announcement follows recent classroom activity highlighting daily strolls as more than recreation, framing time outdoors as an opportunity for children to observe their surroundings, build sensory awareness, and take in new sights and sounds.

The academy operates locations on Park View Avenue and Marin Boulevard and is accepting enrollment for infant, pre-toddler, and toddler programs at both sites. Each location offers the same play-based approach, with educators guiding children through experiences that combine indoor classroom work with outdoor observation and movement. According to the academy, even brief outdoor moments can support healthy growth and give young children space to notice nature, weather, and the sounds of their neighborhood.

Play-based, child-centered, and grounded in research, the HighScope Curriculum remains central to daily practice. In their HighScope classrooms, children are guided to explore, interact, and use their imagination through purposeful play. Teachers support and extend learning based on each child’s developmental level so children can plan, carry out, and reflect on their activities. Outdoor time fits that structure by giving children a setting in which they can look, listen, move, and later revisit what they noticed.

“Outdoor time gives children a chance to slow down and take in the world around them,” said Yeon Benkovitz, co-founder of Park View Academy. “A walk or outdoor play can become a lesson in observation, language, and confidence when teachers stay present and help children name what they see, hear, and feel.”

The academy describes outdoor time as part of a consistent daily routine that also includes free play, group activities, meals, and rest. That predictability is intended to help children feel secure while they explore. Teachers use outdoor moments to support sensory development, social interaction, and early language as children comment on what they notice. The academy has said that simple adventures, including neighborhood walks and time in nearby outdoor spaces, can become meaningful learning experiences when they are planned with intention.

Diane Branco, the other co-founder of Park View Academy, said, “Enrollment at both locations allows families to choose the setting that works for their household while receiving the same approach to care and learning. Outdoor time is one way the team helps children connect classroom learning with the world just beyond the door.”

Their child care programs are designed to meet children where they are developmentally. The infant program focuses on individualized care and gentle stimulation. Pre-toddler classrooms emphasize inquiry, independence, and a sense of belonging through exploration of materials tied to literacy, math, art, science, and music. Toddler classrooms support curiosity, self-help skills, and participation in whole-group, small-group, and individual play. Across all programs, the academy says children learn through play, with teachers encouraging both independent exploration and shared activity.

The academy also offers seasonal experiences that complement year-round programming, including themed summer camp activities, outdoor play, field trips, and special projects. Those offerings are presented as extensions of the same educational approach rather than separate products. Educators receive training in the HighScope method and ongoing professional development so classroom practice stays aligned with the curriculum’s plan-do-review structure.

Park View Academy’s stated mission is to partner with parents in cultivating a lifelong love of learning. Its core values include dependability, engagement, integrity, genuineness, and growth. The academy says those values guide how staff work with children, communicate with families, and support one another. Both locations are described as offering a bilingual HighScope program and a community-centered environment intended to help children feel known and supported.

September enrollment is open for all programs at the Park View Avenue and Marin Boulevard locations. Families seeking program details may use the academy’s established channels to learn more. Facilities emphasize safety, privacy, and quality care, with policies designed to protect family information while supporting daily operations.

Park View Academy is a childcare and early education center dedicated to nurturing young minds through research-based, play-oriented programs. With a team of experienced educators, the academy provides infant, pre-toddler, toddler, and seasonal care options in a welcoming environment that prioritizes each child’s development and family partnership.
